The trick is probably to get pkgconfig to return the right paths. I
don't know how to do that, though.

The alternative is setting the libs by hand. The list of libraries is
first put into *gtklibs* when the .asd file is loaded. You can
intercept them at some point, most likely in the perform
method. Search for load-foreign and *gtklibs*

Perhaps I should add to lgtk some way of specifying them
directly. Hm...
